A new year is a key time to start some new projects. Taking one photo per day is one way to put a framework on your creativity, and these tips from a 365 project veteran can help you get there.

Blogger Dawnstar Australis captured a frame for every day of his 29th year on Earth, and was fairly pleased with the results. You don't have to do it that way, however, and picking your own parameters is an important part of the process, Dawnstar writes:

Consider making something with the result in a years time. Some people have made time lapse videos, others calendars for the family. I'm planning on making a book.

Pick a date that means something to you. Sure January 1 is a good time to kick off one of these projects but is there another annual date that means something to you? I opted to use my birthday for this project because it's my last year in my 20's and it feels like somewhat of a turning point in my life.

Not got time for a full 365 project? Consider a 52 project. One photo a week is doable and will still keep you in the game photography wise.
